Body scrub is a treatment that goes unnoticed and is sometimes underestimated, but especially in
summer can be a valuable ally of our skin, to make it soft and glowing and to indulge ina moment of
regenerating well-being.

WHAT IS A BODY SCRUB?

A scrub is a useful product for skin regeneration, which, thanks to its mechanical exfoliation, gently
renews the superficial layer of the skin eliminating dead cells. Massage with circular and energetic
movements, the scrub performs a gentle abrasion of the skin, thanks to the presence of granules or
microspheres which have a purifying action by stimulating skin renewal, minimizing and attenuating
thickened tissues. 

WHAT IS THE SCRUB FOR?

Revitalizing the skin, stimulating proper cell turnover, improving blood flow and allowing the skin to
"breathe": these are the effects of the scrub, which, if done regularly, allows long-lasting results.
Exfoliated skin will be able to better absorb the active ingredients of butters or products that are applied
later, enhancing their effects.

HOW TO APPLY THE BODY SCRUB?

The body scrub should be applied on wet skin and then massaged in circular motions following a direction
from the bottom to the top. From the ankles to the hips, from the hands to the shoulders. In particular,
when applying the scrub, it is useful to focus on the hardest spots on the body where it is easy to find
thickening of the skin, such as heels, knees, elbows. The massage can take a few minutes, after which the
product can be rinsed off. To complete the treatment, it is indicated to apply a nourishing butter to restore
the surface layer of the skin. This treatment can be repeated two/three times a month or once/twice a
week, preferably in the evening to give the skin the chance to regenerate and restore balance.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF THE SCRUB?

- Eliminates dead cells and debris that are deposited on the skin every day, which obstruct pores and
hinder cell renewal
- Softens the skin, making it smooth and soft even in the areas of the body most prone to roughness
- Helps preventing skin aging
- Improves mood with massage action and scented fragrances
- Helps toning the body up by reducing cellulite imperfections, also in combination with specific draining
and firming products

- Prepares the skin for any treatment, from shaving to more specific treatments

MALÍ'S FAVORITE INGREDIENTS FOR BODY SCRUB

The ingredients in a scrub are usually three: an exfoliating agent, oils that exfoliate and moisturize during
application, and fragrances that make application even more pleasant. Malì chooses refined ingredients of
organic and vegan friendly origin for all products in the Malí Skincare collection and especially for its
scrubs: among Malì’s favorite exfoliating agents are organic apricot kernel powder, organic raspberry seed
powder, organic arabica coffee beans, and Dead Sea salt. These ingredients are softened by the presence
of butters and oils, such as organic avocado butter, organic grapefruit essential oil, organic macadamia oil,
and organic apricot oil.

BODY SCRUB IN SUMMER, WHY IT'S IMPORTANT

In the summer, body scrub can be very useful for achieving a perfect and even tan. In fact, exfoliation is a
treatment that enhances and intensifies the tan, precisely because of its cell renewal action. Moreover,
even in case of too intense sun exposure, which causes an accumulation of devitalized cells making the
skin dull and dehydrated, the scrub can smooth the skin and give a brighter and healthier appearance.
